Global
food and drug management is only a small part of today's methodical
march into the New World Order. But this single issue helps us see the
bigger picture: the massive and menacing web of control that's fast
spreading over the nations. Keep in mind, our anonymous
international rulers intend to micro-manage virtually every part of
our lives. Are we prepared with the facts and faith needed to face the
coming battles with confidence?

Remember, the world may unravel, nations flounder, corruption
flourish, and tyranny loom, but in the midst of it all, our God
reigns!

The
Cost of Spilled Milk

Walnuts, milk and vitamins are good for us! But
that doesn't stop the world's ruling bureaucracy from
reaching its tentacles into our farms, families and food stores. Their global
regulations will entangle all of us, whether or not we like milk and walnuts.

"...the EPA has decided that, since milk contains oil, it has the
authority to force farmers to comply with new regulations to file 'emergency
management' plans to show how they will cope with spilled milk, how
farmers will train 'first responders' and build 'containment facilities' if
there is a flood of spilled milk.

"Since there is no free lunch, all of this is going to cost the farmers
both money and time that could be going into farming.... It is going to cost
the taxpayers money as well, since the EPA is going to have to hire people
to inspect farms, inspect farmers' reports and prosecute farmers who
don't jump through all the right hoops... "[1]

A week after pondering the
threats of "spilled milk," I read an article titled the "The
FDA claims walnuts are drugs." I had just come home from our
supermarket with two bags of shelled walnuts packaged by Diamond of
California. They were on sale, and I can see why. Our Washington bureaucrats
at the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] had warned Diamond and sixteen other
food companies that their product labels violate the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act. Here's their main point:

"...because of these intended uses [enjoying the nuts and seeking the
health benefits of the Omega-3 fats in walnuts], your walnut products are
drugs... Therefore…they may not be legally marketed with the above
claims in the United States without an approved new drug
application."[2]

The producers had 15 days to reply. What kinds of hurdles must they face to
stay in business?

Do you wonder what's going on? Are these examples of government control
simply a means to employ more people? Or are they a ploy to train
freedom-loving Americans to surrender their rights and submit to intrusive
micro-management? Or are they simply a plot to empower a global web of
bureaucracies and enrich large corporations that support our lawmakers and
fund this agenda?

"The
Codex Alimentarius Commission was created in 1963 byFAO[the UN Food and Agriculture
Organization]andWHO
[the UN World Health Organization] to develop food standards, guidelines and
related texts such as codes of practice under the Joint FAO/WHO Food
Standards Programme. The main purposes of this Programme are protecting
health of the consumers and ensuring fair trade practices in the
food trade, and promoting coordination of all food standards work
undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental
organizations."[3]

That may sound good to trusting
souls, but don't be deceived. Like most UN agencies, both WHO and FAO were founded on socialist
values and funded by wealthy
globalists such as the Rockefellers
and J. P.
Morgan. Codex, their offspring, shows the same inclination to feed
on corporate enticements and political corruption. Here are some of its
intrusive agencies:

CCFAC - Codex Committee on
Food Additives and Contaminants

CCGP - Codex Committee on
General Principles

CCMAS - Codex Committee on
Methods of Analysis and Sampling

CCNFSDU - Codex Committee on
Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses

That fits the agenda of its US
partners at the EPA [Environmental Protection
Agency]. The latter
now requires farmers "to prepare and implement an emergency management
plan in the event of a milk catastrophe."

[6]

In
other words, Codex is a major
player in today's rising pyramid of surveillance and control. Do you wonder
how many tax-paid employees are needed to keep up with all the bureaucratic
regulations at the DA (Department of Agriculture) and DHHS (Department
of Health and Human Services)?

"Behind the Codex
Alimentarius Commission is the United
Nations and the World Health
Organization working in conjunction with the multinational
pharmaceutical cartel and international
banks. Its initial efforts in the US with the FDA were defeated, so it
found another ally in the FTC [Federal Trade
Commission]....

"Codex began simply enough when the
U.N. authorized the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture
Organization to develop a universal food code. Their purpose was to
'harmonize' regulations for dietary supplements worldwide and set
international safety standards for the purposes of increasing
trade...

"Pharmaceutical interests stepped
in and began exerting their influence. Instead of focusing on food safety,
Codex is using its power to promote worldwide restrictions on vitamins
and food supplements, severely limiting their availability and
dosages....

"While the stated goal of Codex is
to establish unilateral regulations for dietary supplements in every
country, the actual goal is to outlaw health products and
information on vitamins and dietary supplements, except those under
their direct control. These regulations would supersede United States
domestic laws without the American people's voice or vote in the
matter."[7]

Does that mean we must submit to
international conventions rather than to our Constitution?

Actually, our government has been yielding to
international "laws"[8] since the United Nations was founded in 1945
under the leadership of its first Secretary General, communist Alger
Hiss. Spreading like algae in a dying lake, this global bureaucracy is no
longer hidden from sight. As Rufina James explains,

"...the federal government must NOT
ONLY CHANGE FEDERAL LAW, but must also require state and local
governments to change their laws to be in accordance with
international law.

"...Codex is now enforceable
through the World Trade Organization (WTO). If a country disagrees with or
refuses to follow Codex standards, the WTO applies pressure by
withdrawing trade privileges and imposing crippling trade sanctions....

"The United States has already lost
seven trade disputes despite the exemption clause. Due to the enormous
pressures put on them by lobbyists from multinational corporations (who
contribute millions to congressional campaigns), Congress bowed to
pressure and changed U.S. laws....Food control equals people
control — and population control....

"The United States, Canada, the
Europeans, Japan, most of Asia, and South America have already signed
agreements pledging total harmonization of their laws, including food and
drug laws, to these international standards...."[7]

That list includes Norway, my first home. In a New
Zealand Herald article titled "Conventional medicine far riskier than
supplements," Barbara Sumner Burstyn tells us what the mainstream media tends
to hide:

"In Germany and Norway, where the Codex proposals are
already enshrined in law, even Vitamin C (above 200mg) is illegal,
except by prescription and then only from the pharmaceutical company
that supplies the medical system. But first you have to convince your doctor
you need it.

"All this is happening despite recent reports such as
that from Harvard University....The longitudinal study of nearly 100,000
nurses over 20 years shows that folic acid (B vitamin) supplements reduce
cancer of the colon by a huge 75 to 80 per cent...

"But perhaps the pharmaceuticals industry, despite its
power, is just a little worried. Last week the New York Times
reported that the Pharmaceuticals Research and Manufacturers of America
would increase its lobbying budget by 23 per cent to US$150 million... in
the coming year. Its budget includes more than US$2.5 million for such
things as an 'intellectual echo chamber of economists and thought leaders'
(read journalists)...

"The bottom line is that you're 26,000 times more likely
to die from properly researched, regulated, prescribed and used drugs than
dietary supplements. Whether those supplements are effective preventative
measures, you'll have to decide for yourself. But somehow the behaviour of
the pharmaceutical companies makes me suspicious that the researchers at
Harvard and Johns Hopkins and all those vitamin and mineral advocates might
be right after all."

"Just to be on the safe side, I'm taking my vitamins - while I can still
get them."[9]

Attempts to stop this UN-WTO
assault on American liberty

On March 20, 2001, a joint Statement by Congressmen Ron Paul and
Peter DeFazio was submitted to the House Committee on Government
Reform

. Its implications are disturbing,
to say the least. Remember, the real issue is freedom, not food control. The
latter is simply an illustration of a far larger picture of coming
tyranny:

"Over the past decade the American people have made it clear that
they do not want the federal government to interfere with their access to
dietary supplements. In 1994, Congress responded to the American people's
desire for greater access to the truth about the benefits of dietary
supplements by passing the Dietary Supplements and Health and
Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which liberalized the rules
regarding the regulation of dietary supplements. Congressional offices
received a record number of comments in favor of DSHEA.

"Despite DSHEA, officials of the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) continued to attempt to enforce regulations aimed at keeping the
American public in the dark about the benefits of dietary
supplements....

"Codex is the vehicle through which theWorld Trade
Organization (WTO) is working to 'harmonize' (e.g. conform) food and safety
regulations of WTO member countries....We are concerned that the end result
of this process will force the United States to adopt the same strict
regulations of dietary supplements common in European countries such as
Germany, where consumers cannot even examine a bottle of dietary
supplements without a pharmacist's permission.

"

By participating in
this process, the FDA is ignoring the will of Congress as expressed in DSHEA
and in the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, which expressly forbid the
FDA from participating in the harmonization process....

"If Congress were to refuse to
'harmonize' US laws according to strict Codex/WTO guidelines, a WTO 'dispute
resolution panel' could find that the United States is engaging in unfair
trade because of our failure to 'harmonize' our regulations with the rest
of the world...

"...in a dispute with a country
that has adopted the Codex standards it is highly probable that America
would lose and be subject to heavy sanctions.... Harmonization may be beneficial for the large corporations and international
bureaucrats that control the WTO but it would be a disaster for American
consumers of dietary supplements!"[10]

Did you catch that? Read the last
two paragraphs again.They are critical to understanding the
entangling web of control that's spreading over our planet. Remember, the real
issue is not limited to food and supplements. The global bureaucracy
intends to micro-manage everything -- schools,
beliefs,
values,
parenting, migration, etc. -- using similar tactics that would bind all the
links of the oppressive chains together.

That brings us back to the broader picture. How can we prepare our children
for the hardships ahead? How will they maintain their faith when their peers
equate God's
truth with hate? Will they dare to stand up against evil in a world that
tolerates
everything except God's moral values?

Perhaps we can learn some lessons from the persecuted Christians in Islamic
and Communist lands. If you have children, you might start by reading

If
you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been
very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately
ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you,
and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to
begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If
you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His
reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift
of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once
you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured
of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the
Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If
you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation
